i am in mood for watching documentary Video/Film. mainlly preffer Science/Gadget documentary. but others like History or Wildlife also fine.

But this what i want

Fun and interesting

Give sense of amazingness

Well made

not just random expert talking (which is why i kinda hates most of history documentation)

Any topic will do! From elementary stuff like history of roman empire to Complex stuff like Quantum Mechanic or even Random thing like Paranormal activity in Nazca line. as long it fulfill my bullet point

Series or Film will do. (Podcast is less desirable but if it really interesting you can post it)

Not much of a documentary viewer so maybe I'm not the best person to recommend one , but I have caught Oceans on Starz a couple of times. I found it quite lovely, and I think definitely hits the sense of amazingness factor you're looking for. Of course, now I'm reading on the wiki article the US version got clipped 20 minutes and made more kid friendly, so I'm not too thrilled about that, although it didn't really seem kid-exclusive to me. Maybe Starz aired the world version after all...?

Side note, that was one hell of a crab army they show you. There had to be thousands in that scene. It was pretty epic.

"Globe-trotting Slovakian filmmaker Pavol Barabas explores Earth's biggest tropical island, New Guinea, in this breathtaking tour of a culture wholly unfamiliar with modern civilization and with no previous contact with white people. Along the way, Barabas finds people living high in trees under conditions roughly similar to those of the Stone Age. The film won the Culture Prize at the Kendal Mountain Film Festival."

Very fascinating to see how the different tribes react, and how tobacco always seem to bring them together and win his acceptance.

Most of my favourite documentaries are those made by the BBC, so apologies if you're not able to get access to any of these:

Wonders of the Solar System/Universe - (5+4 episodes) - How science on the large scale can give us a variety of different worlds, and only with the right combination of parameters is life possible on Earth.

Shock & Awe: The story of electricity - (3 episodes) - The history of electricity from static shocks, to the scientists who tried to understand it, and finally its applications (the telegraph, electricity distribution & motors, light bulbs, and semi-conductor computing).

Andrew Marr's Megacities - (3 episodes) - How people live, sleep, work, and get around in different ways in five of the world's largest cities (Tokyo, Shanghai, Dhaka, London, & Mexico City), and how the cities have to deal with the threats that face them.

Their was that one recently about ocean life present by Richard Attenbourgh that was quite interesting I though, might be a little dry though. >.>

Actually there was this one, about the bible, I think can't quite remember, but it was awesome. Went through all these biblical battles and catastrophes and stuff and theorised a modern day explanations of what happened Like Sodom and Gomorrah, possibly being a meteor strike (or a volcano I forget which) and this other town that was 'consumed by the desert' but actually fell into a sink hole because they drank the water table dry (they found the possible ruins, a whole city down this sink hole and not completely trashed either). Was quite an interesting series.

There are quite a few "series doco's" on Discovery that are pretty fun to watch. There is an awesome one that the name escapes me of atm. I guess if you had Sci-Fi you could watch the conspiracy theory nut ones.

I find Vice has some interesting documentaries on youtube and some of them are very short, about twenty minutes. One that I found most interesting was Business of War, which showed the problem with military industrial complex, and one about Scopolamine, a drug that apparently could brain wash someone. They also have some interesting ones about Japan such as a interview with a cannibal and suicide forest, I haven't got around to see them though.

Other documentaries that I found interesting are Inside Job and many of the ESPN 30 for 30. The ESPN ones have lot of fascinating documentaries about sports. The Two Escobars is probably the best out of all them as it is really about Colombia and its drug problems.
